Myles Falworth is a cheeky young squire of medieval England, an England torn and smouldering with intrigue. Richard II has been dethroned, Henry IV is now the King and still the land seethes with dark plans. Myles, in the service of the powerful Earl of Mackworth, is unaware that he's the centre of frenzied plotting as he grows from the pranks of boyhood into the chivalry of a Knight of the Bath. He will be pitted against his family's persecutor the vicious Earl of Alban and it will be a duel to the death. Filmed as The Black Shield Of Falworth in 1954, starring Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.
